In the event of an encoder or server malfunction, for example, the system intuitively identifies the best ‘hot swap’ location to failover recording while also keeping track of all footage in order to guarantee continuous viewing and playback. In the event of any primary server issue, automatic, real-time replication over multiple physical/virtual hot swap servers always guarantees full system control and data access.

Additionally, measures such as dual/redundant hot swap power mean that digital recording/storage devices or networked IP cameras immediately swap to a local power source in the event of a supply outage. And, to minimize storage requirements, camera failover can also be set up so that footage deemed most critical to operations is prioritized for protection. This is a particularly useful tool for large or multi-site organizations that may need to meet regulatory or strict security coverage requirements for sensitive zones/areas most at risk.

Protection against network failure

Edge-based recording is an invaluable safety net in the event of an outage – which is why we’ve built this capability into our range of HD IP cameras. But after an outage, once the network is restored, operators may have to piece together video now located in different places, a potentially time-consuming process that can also result in fragmented footage. Our Backfilling functionality solves this problem. Any ‘missing’ video is automatically located and copied back onto the primary storage server for seamless video viewing, recording, and retrieval.

In addition to meeting storage requirements with our own technologies, Synergy 3’s open architecture also ensures that customers can use solutions from leading third-party storage suppliers; Synergy 3 is, for example, fully compatible with EMC storage area networks (SAN) solutions.

With this flexibility, organizations with network storage already established can benefit from Synergy 3’s digital recording and video management, without having to implement a separate, dedicated surveillance storage depository.
